Determine the center of the ellipse whose equation is.
2 answers:
Answer:
(4, -3) is the center
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation ...
16x^2 +25y^2 -128x +150y +81 = 0
can be rearranged by completing the square(s) to ...
(4x -16)^2 +(5y +15)^2 = 400
Dividing by 400 gives ...
(x -4)^2/5^2 +(y +3)^2/4^2 = 1
This is the equation of an ellipse centered at (4, -3) with major axis 10 and minor axis 8.
